Does anyone else miss the Sounds Dangerous attraction in MGM Studios? I found it really funny! Who else agrees?

I always enjoyed that show ~ it was silly, but cute. And I loved the sound effects. Sadly I don't think many people liked itzammis wrote:Does anyone else miss the Sounds Dangerous attraction in MGM Studios? I found it really funny! Who else agrees?

Nope. I only saw it once and the single thing I remember about it was how much I didn't like it. As I recall, I was bored.
Hoping to go back to the Magic soon.
Re: Sounds Dangerous! Who esle misses it?
It felt like a waste to use the entire auditorium for a movie and sound effects - especially when they had previously demonstrated the headset trick in the little soundproof rooms at the exit. The Foley sound effects demonstration was more "worthy" of a full-scale show, IMHO.
No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.

Ah, was that what was in there before? I remember that show ~ that was pretty neat. I was in it a couple times I tried really hard to do the sound effects right but it was always much more fun to see the results when people messed uphorizons1 wrote:It felt like a waste to use the entire auditorium for a movie and sound effects - especially when they had previously demonstrated the headset trick in the little soundproof rooms at the exit.

Here is a link to a video taken at the Monster Sound Show at MGM in 1996 ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRjLdSyKFMk It was sponsored by Sonyzammis wrote:I don't remember what was there before! Wow that sounds cool! But dont you all think that what is in there now, is more of a waste!?
Considering the venue now just sits empty (as far as I know), yes, it is definitely a waste of space

I always enjoyed Monster Sound - it was pretty funny to see the people trying to match their voices (usually unsuccessfully). Kind of felt like the audio equivalent of Superstar TV (which was also pretty funny).

Re: Sounds Dangerous! Who esle misses it?
Sounds dangerous should have been replaced a LONG time ago. Way too long sitting in the dark. Monster sound show was decent though. Brings back memories from my college program years.
Re: Sounds Dangerous! Who esle misses it?
I am saying that a pretty big theater devoted to sitting in the dark with headphones on and watching a movie is a waste. They could do much more to fill up the room by using the stage, interactivity, maybe do something with animatronics if they don't want to staff the show with a live performer.
The "history of sound in movies" is an idea.

Re: Sounds Dangerous! Who esle misses it?
That makes sense ~ the technology that was cool when it was first opened didn't age well. I imagine the theater will be gobbled up with the Star Wars expansion in all likelihood.horizons1 wrote:I am saying that a pretty big theater devoted to sitting in the dark with headphones on and watching a movie is a waste.
